It seems that many recording devices manufactured by DAHUA have been accessed and reconfigured, one way or another, by automated software developed by hackers. Usually, these are devices that are directly connected to the Internet and are accessed directly, not via a VPN or, maybe, a SSH tunnel (please contact us if you want to know how to secure your devices).

Our brilliant Software Engineers have developed some applications that can be used to create timelapse snapshots for DAHUA devices:

Windows: a Windows-based application, that resides in the System Tray and captures snapshots at your defined rate

Linux: a Linux-server based application, without a GUI, that captures snapshots and, also, can make animated gifs (with the option to upload / synchronize them with a website); of course, if needed, we can also provide longer videos created from the snapshots

ARM/Embedded: an embedded device version that can be used with ARM-based embedded devices
